Enabling Low Cost Smart Road Traffic Sensing

Abstract

Accurate traffic monitoring is a key aspect to develop Smart Mobility services. A road traffic monitoring system based on a network of sensors capturing together information from wireless interfaces of the devices inside the vehicles and also data about noise level is introduced here. This type of sensors obtain accurate road traffic flows and allow noise maps, that can be further analyzed to provide advanced services for mobility and pollution in the roads. Our main goal here is to develop such sensors at low cost with commodity devices, so as to boost their utilization.
